So, what’s wrong with video game’s at the moment? Most people may say a paranoia about piracy, lack of innovation, over-dependency on old franchises, hell, pretty much anything. But nobody would say that the single biggest problem with game’s at the moment is “an obsession with gay space marines” as Mafia II producer Denby Grace pointed out in an interview with MTV Multiplayer.

MTV – “what do you think is the biggest problem current games suffer from?”

DG – “It’s a very good question and maybe a little general for a concise answer. An obsession with gay space marines.”

Yeah. Not something that most people would say out loud and to the media, no less.

Needless to say, that didn’t sit too well with a lot of people but while you may have expected a retort to come from Blizzard since “gay space marines” sort of singles out StartCraft II, it in fact came from GayGamer.net which demanded a response from 2K regarding Grace’s comment. Instead, they got a heartfelt apology from the man himself. Grace says that the comment was a “thoughtless remark” intended to make light of “the hyper-macho ‘bromance’ featured in a lot of military shooters. … I apologize unreservedly.”

Sadly, he does have a good point and a strong argument for his comment. Still, gotta try and be politically correct right?
